19 COMMON THGS EVERY GAY TEEN DID IN THE LATE '90S

Portrayed wh subtlety and grace by now-retired gay actor Jaye Davidson, Dil was a tragic figure but not a il one, a revolutnary ia 1992. The fact that Lee is straight don't terfere wh his handlg of the subject matter, and he would go on to show his directorial expertise films as varied as <em>Sense and Sensibily, Life of Pi, The Ice Storm, </em> and of urse, one of the bt gay-themed movi ever, <em>Brokeback Mounta. I don't rell exactly, but I'm pretty sure that after the movie we went for drks at the Flame, a fun and iendly dive that was then Ann Arbor's only gay bar.

It was the first I'd learned of Hollywood's rtrictive Hays Co, censorship that ma nearly impossible to pict overt homosexualy on screen. The film is about a gay baret owner and his drag queen pann -- and 's not a tragedy, which is unual when put up agast many of s queer cema precsors. The film by Mike Nichols (<em>The Graduate, Workg Girl, Who's Aaid of Virgia Woolf</em>) proved to be a turng pot for society's evolvg views on homosexualy.
